(WHTM) – Pennsylvanians who vote by mail could soon see their ballots arrive ahead of the April 23 primary election.

Voters who have already requested a ballot or who are on the annual mail ballot list could see ballots arrive by the end of next week.

The Pennsylvania Department of State on Monday announced that “counties will soon start sending out mail ballots to eligible voters who requested them for the April 23 primary election.”

In Dauphin County, ballots are currently at the printer and there’s a “high degree of probability” that could be mailed in the middle of next week, according to county Press Secretary Diane McNaughton.

This means, at least in Dauphin County, voters could see mail ballots arriving by the end of next week or early the week after.

In Pennsylvania, any qualified voter can apply for a mail-in ballot without question. An absentee ballot can be requested if you plan to be out of the area on Election Day.

The deadline to request a mail or absentee ballot is April 16 at 5 p.m. Ballots must be received by your county election office by 8 p.m. on April 23.

Races on this year’s ballot include Attorney General, Treasurer, U.S. Senate, Auditor General, and the U.S. House of Representatives.

Pennsylvania has a closed primary, which means Republicans will receive a ballot with only Republican candidates, and Democrats will receive a ballot with only Democrats. All names will be on the ballot for anyone to vote for in November.
